Each page of your posts is specific

[Delucacheesemonger]

No what l said does not make sense. Here is what l am trying to say. If you have posts on page 2 or 3 or whatever and they are responded to by other posters, they do not go to the first page of your posts. Thus if on page two someone responds to a post your have previously responded to, it shows response 2 minutes ago or whatever time involved, but on page 2, not page one where the respondents show the time of their response. Does what l am saying make any sense? Just mean you have to check each page of your posts to see if any responses currently, not all come to page one. Am l late to the party and everyone knew this? Your own posts, however, go to page 1. Also seems as of now, CHOWHOUND is not on Daylight Savings Time.

I come before you to stand behind you to tell you something I know nothing about. In other words... yes, this was explained on a similar thread as you started here, some time ago, but I'm just too lazy to do a search for it. We DO have to look at page 2 of Your Posts to see who posted what when....

[Delucacheesemonger]

When l write this concisely, l always feel like the moron l am, but thanks for clever retort. And does not happen for your own posts as l amended above.

I just figured this out a couple of weeks ago--we were late to the party together. ;) And I'll tell you in a sec about DST.

Edit: Clock is right now. Not sure if that changed since when you posted. :) G'mornin'!

Here's the explanation: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/5230...

The DST issue should be resolved by logging out and back in.

[Delucacheesemonger]

Boy, or girl, did you make that far clearer than l did, thanks. DST as well.

I didn't quite know how newer responses were fed into mychow's pages -

".... The myCHOW pages are sorted first by the date the thread started and divided into pages, so if a thread you recently replied to is older than the oldest thread on the first page, it will never appear on your first page."

It seems somewhat tiring to go through page after page of posts to see if there's anything new. I'm assuming this is done 'cause it would also be tiring to sort through newer responses to old threads until you get to more recent threads (explainimoronitis here as well).
In other words pros and cons to both ways?

Question: is there an easier way to take a look at any new responses without going through myposts page after page after page?

[c oliver]

I agree with you and others ---- only those who think the way we do :) I sometimes would like to ask someone a question about an old post but it seems a waste of time usually becuase that person isn't likely to see it. I get alot of good advice here but it might be awhile before I can try something out. It seems like *cheating* to start a new thread to find that one bit of info but maybe I should start doing that. REALLY clog up the pages! And speaking of clogging up, I wish I could somehow delete those posts that I have zero interest in. Usually it's someone asking for some info, I give all I know and don't care to read more. But, as long as someone keeps the thread recent, it keeps showing up.

And, thank, Gio, for explaining the unexplainable :)

"Question: is there an easier way to take a look at any new responses without going through myposts page after page after page?"

Nope. Not if you haven't contributed to that thread recently. Sometimes, when I'm in major time-killing mode, I just sit and click on page after page after page. I'm often astounded by what I find somewhere around page 65 or 70.

[porker]

Thanks for the direct answer (although I would have preferred a *different* answer haha)

[Jacquilynne]

You can search user:porker and then sort the results by most recent, but unfortunately the results view won't have 'new' flags on it, so you'll have to kind of guess which threads you haven't read recently based on the dates.

"Am l late to the party and everyone knew this? "
Been wondering for quite some time, just too chicken to ask. Thanks for doing what I should have a while ago :)

[Midlife]

It was as clear as mud until I read down a few posts. You have now managed to cost me much more time here as I didn't realize that and now have more places to check on topics I was interested in following. Thanks a lot!!!!! :o)
